Update : 2021-12-6
While teleworking and staying home is encouraged in response to the spread of novel coronavirus infection, the amount of wastes from households is increasing sharply.
When you bring out wastes, your cooperation will be appreciated to sort wastes and to reduce the amount of wastes from households, so as to prevent the infection of waste collection workers.
As to bulky wastes and non-burnable wastes, bring them out in a planned say instead of all at a time.
Do Not Create Wastes
Check your refrigerator before going grocery shopping. Plan your shopping so as to buy as much as your family can eat.
Bring your shopping bag, do not receive disposable goods such as throwaway chopsticks and choose something you can use repeatedly for lunch boxes and for meals at home.
Buy refill packs, if possible, so as to reduce the amount of waste.
Virus May Be Attached to Used Masks
- Blocked virus may be attached on the surface (outer side) of used masks, so do not touch it or put the mask in your pocket or bag.
- Avoid wearing your mask on your chin because the inside of the mask may catch virus or dirt.
- When you take off the mask, hold the string of the mask, without touching the surface of the mask.
Prevent the Spread of Infection in Bringing Out Wastes
Be careful in discarding masks or tissue papers on which nasal discharges are attached. Do not touch the waste directly. Bind the bag of waste tightly. Wash your hands after discarding wastes.
How to Discard Wastes
- Cover the inside of the waste basket, and bind the bag before it is full.
- Bind the waste bag tightly, without directly touching masks and other wastes.
- Wash your hands well with soap after discarding wastes.
* If some of the wastes sticks out of the waste bag, put the bag into another bag.
